Scroll through Elsa Hosk’s captivating Instagram feed, and you’ll see shot after shot of the model goofing off between professional campaigns. Whether she’s balancing SPF on her head or leaping through a field, she always seems to be having a great time. When we recently caught up with her at a Victoria’s Secret event, she revealed it was her biggest tip to modeling like a pro. “I think the most important thing in my job is to have to have fun while doing it,” she explains.

We’ll argue that the same sentence could be applied to the rest of her beauty routine, which has the same go-with-the-flow vibe that Elsa exemplifies. Read on to find out how the VS angel keeps her blonde bright, her fragrance fresh, and her confidence up.

On getting the perfect blonde hue:

Elsa’s strands are always golden, never brassy. Her secret? Find a stylist who gets you! “I go to Lena Ott,” she says. “She’s my go-to colorist.” Even the best hair gurus can’t guarantee perpetual results, though. “My hair gets very light in the summer, but the problem with using all these products and going into the pool a lot is that my hair gets very yellow,” she says. To fix this when Lena’s not around, she turns to her hero product: “I love purple shampoo!”

On hair experimentation:

One of the best beauty moments on Elsa’s Instagram features a tousled bob – but she revealed to us that she was just having fun with a hair fake-out. “It would’ve been so cool,” she admits. “And my agency didn’t know if it was real, but they didn’t freak out or anything. I never change my hair, but I’ve been wanting to do it for a long time. I’m very boring, I guess. I want to cut my hair so bad!” We’re definitely in favor of a summer chop, so we’ll be keeping our eyes on Elsa’s account.

On staying polished all summer long:

Just like everyone else, Elsa also suffers through warm weather beauty woes. “Oh my god, I sweat so much!” she exclaims. The fix is easy: “You have to keep deodorant in your purse, and use those deodorizing wipes that cool you off a bit.” BRB, restocking our bags.

On her special occasion scent:

Another way to battle the heat? Center yourself with your favorite scent. Elsa’s fragrance of the moment is Victoria’s Secret Crush, a sparkling blend of florals like magnolia, peony, and Ashok flower (plus cedarwood, sea mist accord, and cardamom for a head-turning twist). “It's inspired by a new crush,” she explains. “It pulls you in, and you want to smell it more.” As for when she wears it: “It’s more of a special occasion fragrance, so this would be for a night out.” The rest of the time, it resides on her vanity. “I love the bottle and the vintage atomizer,” she says. “It’s so cute!”

On her best beauty advice:

The best beauty tip this supermodel has learned over the years? Focus on yourself, and learn to love what you see. “Don’t compare yourself to anybody,” she cautions. “I did that a lot when I was younger. I was so insecure about my butt. When I was growing up, around 14, it wasn’t really cool at the time to have a big butt. I would always cover it with sweaters, and I was so ashamed of it.” She’s since come around. “Now I’m like, ‘Why would I ever do that? That’s awful!’” she says. “Don’t change yourself, and don’t try to be anyone who you’re not.”
